There were two good buying opportunities based on the EU 5min earlier on today, i'm at work at the moment but i'll post a chart later on.

Jason, you're certainly getting your narrow range that you mentioned last night.
Yep... a little narrower than I was expecting plus I didn't expect that Asia trap up move to make a new high...

True enough... I love those days when we have hit the ADR before LO.

Can you spot the entry (if there is one)?

Short below first ND would have been risky for me if you were looking for a short term retracement but the second ND after the low volume upthrust which closed below the trigger line is better. This ND also closed in the middle below trigger on very small volume, no interest to the upside for now.

I contantly use no demands for my short entries, but sometimes I see some good entries off of upthrusts, I have heard pres speak of lower volume upthrusts being a more secure place for a short as higher volume there could be some buying hidden, but where do you guys like to see these low volume upthrusts, against high volume triggers?

Basically i'm saying what happens if there is no ND signal, there has to be more short signals I feel than ND. correct?

My entry marked on chart - not being VSA trained enough I would probably see the whole effort to rise in this sideways range did not produce results. At my entry bar : the close definitely below the test level of the herd bar close - confirms a further down leg, possibly 2.

Okay you trapped me but I love tests - don`t laugh.

I treat a low volume UT as an upside down test if that makes sense. A low volume UT into a trigger level I treat the same as a low volume test into a trigger for a long.

Well I guess we got that EU NS on the daily I was looking for... Take out the high of today should open some possible upside into 4400-4450 this week.

I'm in a buy from 1.4210, with stop at B/E. Hoping for asia to take it up again, but might get stopped before it does so. My 15M chart for comment attached.

a good buy, but i am waiting for bernanke's speech in two hours. I am hoping there might be a better position to buy. Or it could be the same ol' news from mr white beard. but for me, waiting it out better for my tolerance.

Some very interesting answers, thank you. It's always good to get a sense of what others see-once the now moment has passed.

There was a reason I asked about this chart:

During the live TradeGuider webinar today this is what happened. Dr. Gary Dayton took a short on the first No Demand that showed up after supply entered just after the open. Gavin did not.

For the rest of the session, Gavin did not take a trade. Part of his justification was that NO VSA SINGALS appeared on the chart. Forget about the fact that they are indications and not signals. Anyway, Tom had said that he saw weakness and No Demand in this area. Plus price was finding resistance against his Fib level (Yea Pres).

I "called" the entry on the second No Demand, but did not take the trade as I was in the webinar and do not trade while in webinars. Gavin did not acknowledge the call.

To be fair to Gavin, it is very hard to properly watch the market and do a webinar at the same time. I don't know how people here are able to post and trade. For me, trading takes total concentration. I was a bit disappointed by his justification and told him that there were VSA Signals in that area and Tom had said so. Gavin back away a bit by saying there was no demand.

After the webinar, the "best" entry came as there was an Up Thrust that was resisted on the upside by the trigger level. This trigger level has shown itself to be resistance for some time. The next bar is a No Demand on volume that is not only less than the previous two but less than the last 20 periods. Notice that I said "saw". I did the worst thing a trader can do and let the opinions of others (in this case Gavin) influence me. I should have only been listening to the Market...........

1330 has been key on es for a while now.... any sign of weakness there is a sell. I hammered it last time we were here ... that was before drop to 1250. I Do not think we will be so lucky this time and with the massive strength in background I am much happier playing longs only.

HiddenGap,

We seem to use a similar method in analyzing the markets. We both trade futures and spot forex, use Ensign´s Price Histogram and VWAP studies, etc. So I was wondering if you are willing to exchange perhaps 1-2 emails with me?

Regards,
Halli.

Hey pres,

i was wondering, if EU breaks the low of this daily NS, does that negate it? I ask because i'm looking for a long around 4160 and I believe you posted about looking for a long around 4130 and wondering if you've changed your entry target based on the fact EU did not go down as far as you (and I) expected today?
Change is the only constant
